Hi,

I am looking for a new case for my AT&T iPhone 4. I am trying to decide between the Case mate POP! case, the Speck Fabshell, the Speck PixelSkin HD, and the Incipio DRX. Any suggestions? Im looking for a case that looks cool with moderate protection (as i do drop my phone from time to time), and not a huge amount of bulk. Thanks!

Get the Incipio DRX, very sturdy and nice design. Don't pay $35 for it, get it on amazon for $23 shipped. Link below.

I had the PixelSkin HD but dropped it in favor of Incipio NGP. It's a much better choice, IMO and can't see myself using anything else on my iPhone. Perfect case for me. Similar to the pixel but without the hard buttons or weird back texture.
 
Plastic and rubber seperate?

I have heard that over time, the rubber might seperate or come off of the hard plastic part. Have you experienced anything like this?

I have two questions.

Does this case provide much drop protection, and has it started to lose its rigidity at all over time?
thx.
